The eldestHe's 6 years old now. Still does not eat much unless something he really like, such as roti jala, nasi sup, bihun sup, roti cokelat, mm thats about it. He can now read quite smoothly Bahasa but still struggling with English. Way better than I used to be at the same age.

I had been wearing my office shoes for as long as I have been married. Yes, the pair was included in the 'hantaran' package. Since then, I brought them to the cobbler twice, until it was going to cost me more to repair than buying a new one. So, early this year, I bought a motorcycle and outdoor shoes to go with the bike, which I have been using in the office as well. Apparently, as I was also

My garbage truck comes to my house 3 times a week; Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday. I do not mind if they miss the Thursday or Tuesday schedule, since nothing much to be trashed out and my garbage can could hold up to 3 weekdays before I have to push and lock down the lid. But if they(or I myself) miss the Saturday round, things will got worse(and stinkier). The junk will always double during

Another memorable song, called "Sepohon kayu". Do you know that a lot of good things should be taught while they are in semi-conscious state, a stage just before they asleep. This is just one way how to build a strong base for a good muslim, as early as 3-4 years old. Why 3-4 years old? Because this is the stage where they are still not utilizing their full conscious mind capabilities and , and

So what seemed to be a problem? Recently, within our network segment, guarded by pf firewall, somehow linux(redhat,fedora,*buntu) found difficulty in accessing the internet. Either the page is half loaded, or did not come out at all. It is not the browser; same result using wget. Obviously it is not the network; since XP and *BSD can go out. So, I suspect the pf is the mole. But since the pf

Just to recap, my wife and I were on a quest for a laptop backpack, that does not look like a laptop backpack, and it must be slim, professional and feminine looking and comfortable yet protective.

I am no motivator to preach about productivity. But when instant messenger is banned as the main cause of low productivity, I think somebody somewhere is missing a bigger picture. It is like preventing a driver to have a passenger for a long ride. He still can drive a car with no problem but boredom.

There are quite a numbers of Network or Health Monitoring System. Being an opensource user I have shortlisted several of them; nagios, zabbix, zenoss, opennms. If you really need a quick one, choose zabbix, then you got yourself a car. If you got time, learn nagios.

The Ramones was the last punk rockers group I fancied about. I still got a bunch of their CD and video tape that provide a home for a spider and other bugs. Then Pokleyzz told me that he had a complete Ramones collection available at his personal server(by the way, he knows M Nasir better than he knows SQL injection). And I tell you that listening to them surely makes me feel young and hype

On my way to know and get a taste of Ubuntu, I've been trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 Server Edition LTS in latest Vmware Server, with no luck. After installation, it stuck at "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel". After googling here and there, there were some issues(dated back in 2006) about the Ubuntu 386 architecture kernel compatibility with the vmware server and also some

These are among saying, advices and critics (from people who care) that always stuck in my head while doing everything in life, and I'm thankful for that. Yes you can google for words of wisdom, but I'm more interested in the words I heard in daily life from people around me and from people that matters.Nabi: Cinta pada dunia punca segala kejahatan.Ayah: Jangan tinggal sembahyang, banyakkan baca

A transparent firewall has some pros and cons. In OpenBSD, it use a bridging feature offered by the OS. I use a machine with 2 NICs, running OpenBSD 4.1 to build this perimeter fencing. Pros:On network, nobody knows it was there(except its coming from your big mouth)Since it is ip-less, you can avoid the many hacking attempt(physical attempt is excluded), but still open for DDOS in rare

A few days after using flexbackup as a backup tool, then I've reached the next phase in the procedure; Data Recovery. In other words, how'd you want to extract the data from the tape. Being absolutely vain in tape backup, I quickly typed 'ls' to view the content of the tape. Well, I wish it was that easy.But it was not that difficult either provided you understand some basic things about a tape

This is my first week as a blogger wannabe. All I can say is, blogging is not as innocent as it look. It just like a public digital diary, but men just dont want to admit they had a diary. So they just give it a more killing words - blog. Dont get pissed yet, I just made that up. People see you just like an emotionless guy doing his job, sitting lazily in front of the screen, finger-tapping the

Most all the time, I will hanging out in different client sites that require me to change the IP Address and some other TCP/IP configuration. The usual way requires several combination of mouse clicks and keypress. This is when netsh come in handy (thanks to kapla_hodot for showing the way). Yes, you might know better, but since this is my blog so I want to put something useful to me as a noob

Remembering the first task given to me, to find a backup solution for server logs. Being given a Redhat 9 box (dont ask why), and a tape drive (stop asking!), I have to choose appropriate tools to get the job done. Yes, you can simply do backup using built-in commands such as tar, cpio, dump etc. But I've never done this before and I'm sort of short of time, so I needed a quick (some people

I'm not sure if this headache I'm having is closely related to the sprained shoulder pain that I had since last week . Or issit because I have 3 reports to compile before next friday. Or issit because of a small lump-look-alike just between my son's chin and his neck. Or issit just because the career path i've chosen.Talking about the career path, today is last day for my colleague. Like he

This is the first sentence I wrote on MY own blog. This is the second one. The main objective is to have a place I can save my stuffs and pics, and most importantly it is accessible from anywhere. And here goes nothing ...
